January 2026

On the weekend of January 24th through the 25th, a spirited group of Scouts ventured to Klondike, an annual competition that showcases scouting skills and camaraderie. Held at the stunning Horseshoe Scout Reservation in Rising Sun, Maryland, the event was challenged by frigid temperatures, peaking at 30 degrees and plunging to a bone-chilling 3 degrees, with a snowstorm forcing an early conclusion.

 

Klondike is a highlight of the scouting year, and the excitement was in the air. Scout Patrick emphasized the lesson of being prepared and taking no shortcuts, noting that “The Cold” was the most challenging part. Will R eagerly expressed, “I would like to do it again,” reflecting the adventurous spirit in the air. Sam fondly recalled making walking tacos as a memorable moment.

 

Overall, this Klondike weekend was a blend of fun, resilience, and the joy of good food, creating lasting memories for all 377 Scouts who participated.

 

 

October Campout to Gettysburg & Ghost Tour

Troop 377 visited Gettysburg as we camped from October 17th through the 19th. We camped at a nearby state park and had many fun adventures and excellent weather. That weekend, we toured the Gettysburg battlefield and went to a museum for the Battle of Gettysburg, as we were a part of an interactive experience where we got to see the battle run through the streets of Gettysburg. After that, we went on a hike, showing the scouts some of the battlefield, where we saw the Castle at Little Round Top, which commemorates the soldiers. Before our ghost tour, we had Cheesesteaks made by our fellow scout, Chase. As it was time for our ghost tour, where we learned about the scary history of the town. As that was our weekend at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, we would like to thank everyone who used a weekend of their time to help our scouts have the best campout and join us for an excellent campout.
